What makes a Christian more than a conqueror according to Romans 8:37?
Romans 8:37 teaches that believers are more than conquerors not because of what they have or any ability of their own, but through Christ Jesus. He becomes everything, and it is all of God's grace, not human merit, that secures this victory.
Les explains that in all these things we are more than conquerors, but not of what we have and not through any ability we possess; what makes us conquerors is Christ Jesus. He becomes everything. Whatsoever we do in word or deed, we do unto Him, for in Him we live and move. There is nothing in us that can merit any favor with God; it is all His grace. That grace could never have happened without mercy, but we no longer cry for mercy because God poured out His mercy on Christ on the cross. Since mercy has been poured out, God can give grace, unmerited favor, which we do not deserve.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
